ABOUT MY HISTORY WITH LOONEY LABS...

My wife bought me Zendo some years ago, but I've never played it. We don't get to game much. Our kids at 8 and 10 are finally getting old enough to play some interesting games, so we've been playing Fluxx, Aquarius and Q-turn for a couple years now. Became a Demo Team member when Cthulhu Fluxx came out, and we dusted off the pyramids and have been having a lot of fun with them. My son and I recently became Starship Captains, but I still have never played Zendo.

UPDATE:

Finally got to play Zendo when a couple friends visited from out of town, and it was as much fun as I thought it would be. My wife and kids like it too.

ABOUT ME...

In my forties, married 18 years, two kids who like games, been a gamer since my teens. Not enough time for games, no gamer friends nor game store nearby. Lovecraft fan, with friends who are also Lovecraft fans, friends who are also Fluxx fans, and a few friends who are both.

I think Tic Tac D'oh! and Martian Coasters were the favorites, but we didn't spend much time on Builders. I…

There is no game store where I live, but an old college friend has recently opened one near my hometown, where I visit often (Thoom! Games, Marquette, Michigan). Before the release of Cthulhu Fluxx, I visited him in…

"It's fFunny you ask. I don't actually know of any explicitly cooperative pyramid games ... until this morning when I was playing around with some pieces and sort of inadvertently invented a weird game. (Actually my new game may…"

"I found black and white checkerboard pattern bandanas at the Hobby Lobby for 99 cents. They're 14 squares by 14 squares, so the squares are a bit smaller than ideal, but should still work. I'm sure creative types would have no…"
